Your company benefits from corporate meditation

Higher staff morale
Reducing stress in the workplace means your employees will be happier and feel more positive about your organisation.

Reduced absenteeism
Workplace pressures cause a range of physical and emotional illnesses (including depression). Stress suppresses the immune system so that it takes longer to recover from non-stress-related illnesses. This results in loss of work hours.

Reduced workers compensation claims
Stress-related claims account for almost 30% of all WorkCover claims and are about twice as expensive as other claims (see details below).

Reduced staff turnover
Employees who aren’t coping with stress at work are more likely to leave.

Better inter-staff relations
When people are stressed at work, tempers flare and relationships can sour, leading to less co-operative, less cohesive teams, which decreases productivity.

Better customer service
Staff who aren’t stressed will be more pleasant to your clients and provide better customer service.

Higher productivity
All of the factors mentioned above will increase productivity and improve your bottom line. Additionally, the fact that many people think less clearly when they’re over-stressed means your staff will make better decisions when effective stress management strategies, such as mindfulness training, are implemented.

Short term and long term effects

Mindfulness meditation has the short term effect of reducing stress and clearing the mind.

When practised regularly over a period of time, it has a cumulative effect, so that regular meditators are less affected by stress compared to non-meditators. Even if a person hasn’t meditated recently, research shows that their resilience increases.

In May 2014, HSG designed, implemented and staged a mindfulness meditation program for team members of a US-based credit card company, as part of their workplace wellbeing campaign. By using teleconference and online functionality, sessions were delivered to staff in multiple locations across Australia.

This was run alongside an online survey, which measured the effectiveness of the program using expert-approved diagnostic questions. This survey measured self-reported wellbeing, and tracked the progress of participants over the course of the month:

The average overall wellbeing score improved by 14.13%

Focus scores improved by 12.65%

Stress & Anxiety symptom scores improved by 16.90%

Staff testimonials:

“These sessions have been useful to me and have taught me new ways of dealing with anxiety”

“I am finding this is exactly what I am needing at this point in time… already trying to implement some of the changes into life”

“I look forward to the session each day. I feel more relaxed and clearer in mind and thought at the end of the sessions.”

We have created an ongoing corporate wellness program for many of our clients, of which our meditation classes are just one component. Please contact us to discuss how to design a customised corporate wellness program to suit your needs.

Australia-wide Services

The session went very well and was received very positively by the team. There was a lot of talk about the session the next day and what the team can implement individually into both their work and personal lives. Thank you very much for your assistance.”

We really enjoyed the professional service provided prior to our event. The instructor knew a lot about the topic and was able to impart that knowledge in an easy to understand way. The group and I left the meditation session with many new skills that we were able to use straight away."
